Abstract

This paper introduces a novel design of a tapered rib waveguide utilizing Hybrid Chalcogenide material. The waveguide is 4 mm in length and has a core of GAP-Se. GAP-Se is a combination of GeSe₂, As₂Se₃, and PbSe. The upper and lower cladding are made of SiO₂. The varying height of the rib layer results in a reduced effective mode area and an increased nonlinear coefficient. To achieve a desirable and intended supercontinuum spectrum in this waveguide, we utilize a pump pulse with a pulse duration of 100 fs and a power of 1 kW at a wavelength of 3.1 µm. We can change the waveguide dimensions to control and engineer the dispersion properties, which give us two zero dispersion wavelengths at 2.81 µm and 4.91 µm. As a result, we get a supercontinuum spectrum from 2.2 to 5 µm with a bandwidth of 2.8 µm. This design can be useful for different purposes such as biomedical, sensors, and optical coherence tomography.
